Four (En Divergent-samling)

Av Veronica Roth

Sidor: 208

Förlag: Modernista

"Four presenterar fyra nya noveller ur Divergent-trilogins värld. Var och en av dessa – Falangbytaren, Kandidaten, Sonenoch Förrädaren – utforskar Veronica Roths dystopiska framtid genom ögonen på den mystiske, karismatiske Tobias Eaton, även kallad »Four«.

I dessa berättelser avslöjas tidigare okända aspekter av Four personlighet, historia och relationer.

Boken innehåller också tre exklusiva, tidigare opublicerade scener ur Divergent-trilogin."

helt fantastisk!
Four var alltid den där karaktären du aldrig riktigt fick lära känna. Han hade dessa väggar runtomkring sig som endast Tris fick komma igenom. Han var en mystisk varelse, som jag tror varenda läsare helt utan förvarning började älska. Hans hårda fasad var just det - en fasad. Men vem var han egentligen? Vilka händelsen i hans liv formade honom till den han är idag?

Svaren får vi i Four.
Vi tas med på en resa genom Tobias Eatons liv. Vi får se den pojke han en gång var, och exakt vad som tvingade honom att växa upp lite före de andra barnen.

Jag älskade dessa noveller. Jag blir nästan lite tårögd när jag tänker tillbaka på Divergent trilogin. Det känns verkligen som att den sista pusselbiten fallit på plats. Magnifik översättning också!

Allegiant (Divergent #3)

I expected Allegiant to be this months bestseller, being the last book in the Worldwide bestseller series Divergent, But I I'm not sure many people would read it if they knew how aweful the book really was.

Allegiant (Divergent #3) REVIEW

Divergent (Divergent #1) Review
Insurgent (divergent #2) Review

By Veronica Roth
Pages: 544
Publisher HarperCollins

One choice will define you.

What if your whole world was a lie?
What if a single revelation—like a single choice—changed everything?
What if love and loyalty made you do things you never expected?

The faction-based society that Tris Prior once believed in is shattered—fractured by violence and power struggles and scarred by loss and betrayal. So when offered a chance to explore the world past the limits she’s known, Tris is ready. Perhaps beyond the fence, she and Tobias will find a simple new life together, free from complicated lies, tangled loyalties, and painful memories.

But Tris’s new reality is even more alarming than the one she left behind. Old discoveries are quickly rendered meaningless. Explosive new truths change the hearts of those she loves. And once again, Tris must battle to comprehend the complexities of human nature—and of herself—while facing impossible choices about courage, allegiance, sacrifice, and love.
Told from both Tris and Tobias point of view.


I'm not going to rate this one, because I feel like this is a book that can't be rated, and I'm just not ready yet.

You broke me Roth. I will never forgive you for that ending. Ever.

I am supposed to write a review when all I want to do is cry. This is the hardest part a book blogger have to go trough - Having to face a book that broke you, and even worse, put word to it. 

I don't know how good this review will be, so if it sucks, I'm sorry.

Allegiant starts of around where we left in Insurgent and things escalate quickly.
And when I say quickly I mean real quickly, and many authors would have failed with making it all work but of course VR did. 

We get to meet a lot of new people which was some how confusing in the beginning because I didn't what this even had to do with the whole Divergent trilogy, but then I realized that nothing in this book is like the other two books. This one is packed with insensitivity and unexpected turns that left me having a hard time breathing correctly. And that scared the crap out of me. Veronica became something she's been telling us to be trough Divergent. She became brave. 

There wasn't so much character-development in Allegiant but one person I feel like did change was Tris. Tris and I have a lot in common and I really look up to her. Her power somehow makes me want to be stronger too. She isn't the small little insecure child any longer. She is a woman now. 

I feel like reading from Tobias POV gives us a better understanding about him as a character, he isn't really a wordy person, so we never really knew him. Until now. 

People talk about the ending and how amazing it was because she took a risk. How she is so brave for doing so and that more YA authors should do so but do you know what I think? I call it bull.

I felt betrayed by that ending. It felt like a personal punishment of some sort. One I will never forget, never accept.  It was like being stabbed in the heart over and over again but Life wont let you die so you have no other choice than to 
endure what is unbearable. 
You have to continue with your life.
So you bear it.
Good bye Divergent.

Love always
Lihini.

  

The Transfer: A Divergent Story (Divergent 0.1) REVIEW

By Veronica Roth
Pages: 50
Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books

"The Transfer," the first of four new short stories told from Four’s perspective. Each brief story explores the world of the Divergent series through the eyes of the mysterious but charismatic Tobias Eaton, revealing previously unknown facets of his personality, backstory, and relationships.

TOO SHORT!

GIVE ME MORE

WHY ON EARTH DID WE ONLY GET FIFTY PAGES?! 

I loved it, I really can't picture Tobias being "weak" or even with real emotions like that haha, but I do feel like we got a better glimpse of him, because the past is what sets out future. No future can be made without a past. 

This short story makes me long even more for Allegiant, but at the same time I never wan't that day to come, because that means that It's over. The divergent series is over.
